HAPP WHEEL / SERVO / FFB HACK - 1st Racing Cab Build. My Notes
ScottoKong:
HI ALL
I've added my notes at the bottom of this thread.
Somehow I've managed to do this hack and not get the dreaded SHAKES.
Not sure how I've managed this while others with more knowledge than me haven't.
Hope my collated info can help others - I'll add some pics and tidy it up soon hopefully!

Hi All - Long Time lurker around these parts - pretty sure this is my first post!
I've been following a few builds here - especially gbeef's and badmouths. :notworthy:
At this stage I'm just looking to run the model 2 and supermodel racers.
I've given up trying to buy an old cabinet (daytona/rally) - all the operators I talk to don't really want to sell anything as daytona is still a good earner and they want the parts!
I've found a guy that will sell me a a Daytona dashboard and another guy with a sega shifter.
My initial BIG question:
I want to jam my logitech momo wheel in behind the Daytona dash?
Good idea?
Potential problems?
Any advice would be appreciated.
If that's not too hard to do I'll then worry about how to make the Sega Shifter interface (they only have 3 switches right?) and the VR & start buttons.
Thanks heaps
Scott
BadMouth:
How much of the dash are you getting, just the plastic, or the metal bracket that goes behind it also?
The metal bracket is needed to hold the shifter.
There are also special bolts that hold the shifter in place that are drilled out for other screws to hold the cover on top the shifter.
See if you can get those from one of those guys also.
I'd just use a keyboard encoder for the shifter and all the other buttons.
You can get an encoder cheaper that will show up as a gamepad, but a lot of PC games limit you to ONE controller and the keyboard.
To mount the momo behind the dash, you'll just have to fabricate a longer steering shaft and maybe extend the wires.
gbeef did something similar, so he can probably offer better advice on that.
I threw away most of the momo wheel that I got the pcb out of for my new dash. Those parts would have come in handy for this. :-\
gbeef:
Hey good luck with your build as for what to do.
What your attempting is what i did with the G27 wheel i had. There's pros and cons to what i did, You need to hack up your momo, the only reason why i went with a G27 wheel was because i want to play PC's games with a clutch and a 6 way shifter.
Yes i did mount and cut my shift to fit. But.. im not happy with it i going to mod a SEGA shifter so it can go 6 ways. Because your building a custom cab you should have a problem mounting the wheel you can design the cabinet around it. But make sure to rip apart to the wheel to see the dimensions you dealing with. The front dash hole will be your limitation.

Not sure. Most support x-input, so they should, but most also only have vibration feedback for x-input, so you might get screwed out of FFB.
Maybe someone with one can chime in?
(generic eric?)
